Massachusetts turns down windmill power, Kansas turns down coal power, the tree huggers get in the way of atomic power - civilization itself is under attack. It runs on electricity. Where are all these whiners going to be the summer it turns dark?
Our ever-accumulating-more-electronic-gadgets population is growing, and our electric supply isn’t.
Rioting and blaming the power companies for not giving up on coal and nuclear energy sooner. They will say that the collapse was because we didn't convert years ago and the lost time cost us.
Of course, it's a bunch of BS. Technology for wind and solar et. al. are a long way from being able to supply the amount of 24-7 reliable power we need. They are best reserved for niche needs and reducing coal use when the "green" power is available, and based on relative economics (cost/MW, payback for invested capital, etc).
The lefts efforts to stop coal and nuclear expansion will have BIG consequences for the economy. It is just taking time for "crunch time" to rear it's ugly head.
